A friend of mine told me about a talk this coming Thursday, the 24th, by Gerry Wilson, the CIO of RSA. I think lunch is also going to be provided. It sounds like a good opportunity to talk to someone about authentication beyond just key tokens or passwords. RSA is also supposed to have a new product that replaces Windows XP logins with secuirID logins.

The talk is at a restaurant in Framingham from 11 to 1. I think it's sponsored by a local VAR, but AFAIK they're only there to buy lunch for everyone. I wish I could go, but I'm on the wrong coast. ;-)

I'm trying to use the DOM functions to play with some XML, but it seems as though my server PHP version doesn't include them.

I do have access to the webhost manager type deal, but didn't see anything pertaining to PHP in it really. I've also looked through php.net, google, and the documentation, but saw nothing related to remote installation or additions. So either it's like I said, the server version being outdated, or I'm doing something else wrong.

Would I be able to configure the remote server to include new PHP functionality, or is there some other way I don't know of to use the functions?

Server is using PHP 4.3.10.

Any help appreciated.

I have a block on this website I'm building that I want to make all the choices available on the drop down selection (suicidegirls.com style).

This isn't difficult.
My question is this.
I want another (2) drop down selections underneath it.

The very top is the master list.
The second one breaks the master list into genres,
and the third one only shows choices that are listed as being within that genre.

Example: Master list shows all the bands for a city.
If I choose my genre on the 2nd drop down bar to "Blues",
I want my third bar to display only the bands I have classified as "Blues bands".

Can this be done?
If yes, can someone point the way for me to learn how to do this?

Thank you.

Hey! I'm new to this community and I feel that I am decent when it comes to web design, but could always learn more.

My website is prince0fangels.com.

The question I present to you is not about web code, but about art. Does anyone know of anyone or where to look to find someone willing to do custom art for a website? I already have an amazing piece done for my website, but I just wanted to see what else was available.

Thanks!

Alright, so my client wants certain sections to be easily updated. Just the text, not the layout or anything. For example, he wants to be able to add new "News" paragraphs, simple enough.

So if my client knows ZERO web code, what would be the easiest way to tackle this issue? Should I just include very detailed HTML comments in the files to guide him along? Or is there a way to make the HTML pull text from a text file? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Also, keep in mind the client may wish to make some words HTML links.

Hopefully some of the experts out there can help me out?

Peace :)

Hi everyone, this my first post here so if this is a redundent question etc. I apologize in advance.

I've be designing web sites for a little bit now (Digital Video is my true specialty though), however it's been mostly from the "artistic" standpoint, thus I'm playing catch-up now to learn things like CSS etc. so the websites I work with are functional as well as pretty!

A client I'm woring with now wants me to redesign his site which in the end is 50+ pages. So, I was wondering what would be the easiest/best way to make a basic page layout and only have to update one file (instead of 50) to change links and or navigation. I thought this maybe could be done with and external CSS however it seems like that deals more with text etc. and not tables. Again sorry if this is too newbie, and thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I did my previous sites in FrontPage (ducks from the expectant rock throwing) but ripped out all the FrontPage codes.

Now I'm going to redo them in Dreamweaver and have a question about sites.

In FrontPage you could have sub-webs in Dreamweaver you can't define them.

Now my question is:

Can I define different sites in Dreamweaver as my subwebs even though I use FTP and can only log on FTP-wise to my main root website?
Or Should I just create one site for my main root website and if I make changes to the subweb/folder will it know not to upload my subweb to the root site?

(I checked the tutorials and it really doesn't say)

So, I'm doing some work for a web hosting company in Austin, TX (www.webii.net) and we are doing some marketing research. I'm a LJ fan, so I thought I'd join this community and see what you all thought about web hosting in general, our site, our packages and offerings, ect. Please, let me know any comments you have, negative or positive.

Also, if you have a domain, what is it you like or don't like about your service. Is it cost effective. How does it compare with our rates? What software do you use? Would you consider switching to our services, why or why not? What do you think about Unix hosts as opposed to Windows hosts?

Thanks in advance!

Recently I've been having some problems with my computer which is running Windows 2000 Pro and has a AMD Thoroughbred CPU. Some things I did before I started having problems: I recently took out the RAM and then put it back in (long story) but the computer seems to recognize that okay. I also recently tried to add to it a DVD burner, but for some reason I was having problems with the computer recognizing it. Power was going to it just fine but it wasn't being recognized by PnP. I haven't installed the drivers yet, but I'm not sure that's the problem. Regardless, that's something to tackle another day. I also got a "new" monitor which works just beautifully. Unfortunately, I'm not home right now so I can't give the specs on all of those.

Anyway, the problem is that the video card wasn't working at all although it had been working quite well in the past. It is Geforce 4 MX 440 I believe. If I recall, it stopped working before I tried it with the new monitor. Regardless, it doesn't work with either of them. So I uninstalled it and was going to try to reinstall the drivers to see if that would fix the problem. But InstallShield stopped working. I believe I got error -1607: Unable to Install InstallShield Scripting Run Time. So I went to their website and was going to install the updates and see if that worked. But the Windows Installer said that it didn't work (I'm sorry, I don't remember the exact error).

Also: some of the things in the Start Menu such as the Windows Updater and the search for files don't work (at least when selected from the Start Menu). I cannot click and drag things from the Desktop to the trash (or is it recycle bin in Windows? I'm primarily a Mac user). Whenever I click on the Programs Folder, the folder is completely empty although it shows there being x amount of files at the bottom of the window. When I try to search in that folder, then files will show up in the search and I have to access them that way or through the command prompt.

When I hadn't figured out that it was my video card that was the reason my computer wouldn't start up past a certain point, my boyfriend who is much more knowledgeable about Windows than I am, ran the computer in safe mode and went through my registry and program folder and deleted some programs that he thought might be suspicious (for the record, I think we were being overly cautious--they didn't look like spyware to me, but then, I must admit that I can't remember where they came from), and I ran PCillin and AdAware on the computer.

When I finally find the Windows 2000 disk that I have I was just going to reinstall Windows, because we're both stumped, but maybe someone can give me some insight on what I should do instead? I have a feeling there's something obvious that I'm missing. Thank you very much for your help!

If you are an amateur or pro graphic designer or know someone who wants to make a few extra bucks I got an easy job.. And yeah I'll be paying real money. I've never done an e-commerce site and I need one. Nothing too fancy, my brother from another mother Andrew (check out his work he's amazing) is taking care of the flash intro but I need the basic website. It's going to be for selling fashion, electronics, video games, etc. I will need to be able to constantly upload new images and change the text as I get new items in. We need to do sales via papal(for starters) and have a link to my Ebay auctions. In terms of style I want it to be futurstic/cyber/goth/splatterpunk blade runner HR Geiger you get the idea. But not tacky. Subtle. The shit I'm going to be selling I want to present as cutting edge and the site should reflect that. So if your interested hit me at mrfresh3030@hotmail.com or soulseller76@yahoo.com with a brief idea for your layout, some links to other sites you've done, and your $$$ terms. Peace & love.

Hello people!

I recently bought some server space, and there's loads left! So, I thought, why not have a few hostees?

i apologize in advance because i know this will turn into a lengthy post, as i have searched high and low for the answer(s) to my problem.. and found several solutions, some of which contradict each other.. and i am at a loss.. literally. since my computer will no longer boot up.

my issue is this.. i receive this error msg when i try to start up my computer (hp,running on windows xp home edition):

1) winlogon.exe entry point not found. Procedure entry point AssocIsDangerous could not be located in dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll. When I click on "ok" or the "x" , I get

2) Logon user interfce dll msgina.dll failed to load. This restarts computer back to the first error. I cannot get past this.


from what i have read... several ppl have had this issue after doing some sort of windows update on xp dealing with service pack 1 i think it is. however, i thought i had a virus since my computer was all sorts of acting up (saying low on memory, going reaaaally slow, and my internet explorer would not revert back to homepage and obvious adware, etc)...

so i decided to uninstall and reinstall internet explorer.. hoping it would at least help for a bit so i could run my spyware/adware programs to get rid of some of it (i have netscape as backup).. so i do that, and i go to restart my computer and this happens.. it will not even boot in safe mode.

i then go out and get norton antivirus, hoping this will get my "virus" and i create some emergency disks.. only to find there is no virus at all.. and after some more research i learn it is a microsoft problem.

i guess i will get to my real point out of all of this. has anyone else had this issue or known someone with it before? what did you/they do to fix it? i have heard of using the XP cd to boot into Recovery Mode to fix the corrupted files.. and then i've read not to go into Recovery Console at all because that will mess it up? i really do not know.

Also, my other big issue is that.. i do not have my XP nor a factory restore cd or anything. my computer came with it previously installed.. and anyone else in the house either had the same or has no idea where it is. so i'm stuck. i can make emergency boot disks from the microsoft website..however, it says at the end of the instructions that to finish the set up, i will need the cd anyway. any suggestions? thank you so much in advance!!
